    Dear Rrg,

    Somehow I never got he time to vsit snippets and was missing you in action here. From this thread only I got to know you had written another one beofre this. ..will definetly visit the same.

    Wonderful writing..quite humorous..I knew of this idiom but like you I was not sure of Mangkottai....thanks for the clarification now...

    As monifa says imagining you as mundirikottai evokes more laughter in us....that was a gud one... enjoyed it..

    BTW: The link you have given in yur first post here is not working, could you kindly check the same pls?

    Dear Viji Madam, Mindi & Lalitha,
    Thanks for your replies.
    VM: The girl was free to like both me & my brother, then, as I was only 8 years old. Net resulkt : I was deprived of few sojjis & bajjis. :)

    Lalitha: Thanks for letting me know that the link was not working. It was
    http://www.indusladies.com/forums/snippets-of-life-non-fiction/92168-moondru-kodugal.html.
    Now that I am unable to edit the post, I do not know how to incorporate this link in that original post.
    Cheers!

    Dear RRG sir,

    Very nice of you to present the article on "oppuku chapani":biglaugh.

    And I enjoyed it very much.

    Its so sad that you were deprived of few bajjis and sojjis because you were "mundrikottai" :rotfl

    Keep writing :thumbsup

    Dear Rrg..
    very informative.. so OC OM in other words is "kaccha roti".....
    reminds me of my childhood days when My brother's friends allowed me to play cricket with them only so that everytime the ball went far I had to run and fetch it!!
